Powder injection moulding (PIM)

Complex metal and ceramic moulded parts

Powder injection moulding (PIM) enables the cost-effective series production of durable, precision metal (MIM) or ceramic (CIM) parts. The major benefit of the multistage process: freedom of shape. With us as your partner, you can successfully interlink all process steps.

We generally place great value on reproducible, flawless injection moulding production. That is why, in principle, all ALLROUNDER injection moulding machines are suitable for powder processing. We create complete solutions, precisely adapted to the applications using integrated peripherals and automation solutions.subscribe to newsletter

Highlights

Exploit all the options available to you in the ARBURG PIM laboratory - from the preparation of feedstock through to sintering

Large selection of powder materials: in addition to the oxide ceramics and steels, hard and precious metals, as well as cermets can also be used

Customer-specific development and testing of feedstocks (powder-binder mix)

High-quality, reproducible series production with ALLROUNDER injection moulding technology

Process technology

PIM laboratoryOur PIM laboratory affords you the opportunity to test all key process steps under practical conditions: from feedstock development and testing through to preparation and injection moulding, debinding and sintering of the moulded parts. Furthermore, detailed consultation is available from our specialists.to applications consulting

Application examples

Smartphone backManufacturing smartphone backs by means of powder injection moulding with dynamic mould temperature control is a production-efficient alternative to machining. A hydraulic ALLROUNDER featuring PIM equipment and the Catamold 17-4 Plus feedstock from BASF can be used, for example.

Intermediate leverUsing metal powder injection moulding (MIM), you can produce high-strength parts with complex geometries, such as those required for automotive valve actuation systems in engines. The intermediate lever, which is produced fully automatically, is one of the first ever functional MIM components ever to be installed in a combustion engine.to the moulded part

FerruleCeramic ferrules connect optical fibre bundles for the transmission of data. The key here is the high-precision moulding of the through-hole, measuring just 0.125 mm. Tolerances of +/- 10 µm are achieved with powder injection moulding. This is achieved by means of ARBURG's position-regulated screw.
